But from there, when I click okay, nothing happens and it just stays on that screen.I get a memory corrupted screen as soon as I turn on my mp3 player and when I click repair, it says that it's been repaired and all content cleared.

Go to the philips website and install the device manager. Reset your mp3 player on back with pin. Press and hold vol+ button on side while you plug it in on your computer. Go to device manager and repair.

It took me hours tonight to figure this out. This is a piece of **** mp3 player! It hasn't worked since 2 months after buying. Now it is like new. I would never buy another one!!

If it is showing this as you are starting up the player then you should probably get to a computer with that phillips device manager and see if you can 'restore' the files on it with that.Other than that the only thing I can think of is to connect it to a comp, go into the files of it from my computer, make sure you have 'view hidden files' on, and delete all files on the darned thing.

ok what you need to do is repair the firmware. The file system error has nothing to do with a virus. It means the firmware has become unstable or corrupted through any series of events.
by following this link http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=SA6045/37&scy=us&slg=en
you can download the software/firmware needed to reflash the device and this should solve all of your problems with the file system error. Ensure that it is the correct model number and download the files and flash the device by following the instructions on phillips website.

i think the flash memory is defective. if you have still warranty on your device bring it to your dealer. if not, you could try to format the players memory. go to my computer, right click on the device and use the option format. data format should be fat32. you do this on your own risk.

You have to do the "update" in the Philips Device Manager (make sure you are connected to the internet when you do) to repair the corruption:
Recovery
Mode for Philips' GoGearOpen
the Philips Device Manager (Start à
All Programs à Philips Digital
Audio Player à SAXXX à Philips Device Manager) and
click on the “Repair” tab.Then click on
the “Repair” button to start the repair process.Most of the time, when your player is in that
state, the Device Manager will not recognize that your GoGear is plugged
in.If this is the case: Disconnect the
player from the PC, and make sure the mp3 player is turned off. Hold in the
volume + button on the mp3 player, and reconnect the player to your pc while
holding in the volume + button. Continue holding the volume + for 10-15 seconds
until a "Found New Hardware Wizard" pops up. It should recover your
device if there isn't anything internally wrong with the player. Warning: this
procedure will result in your songs being erased off the player, so they will
have to be reloaded.

The HDD1830 is not Mac compatible. The database file has probably been deleted or corrupted. The player doesn't scan the hard disk on start-up, it only read the database file. Anything it doesn't read from the database file is ignored.

You will need to restore the player with the Philips Device Manager, and re-load your tracks.
